The software testing community is in the midst of a deep and contentious rift, with ISO 29119 at its heart. The International Organization for Standardization, in conjunction with the IEC and IEEE, has put forth ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119—a set of standards governing testing processes, documentation, techniques and keyword-driven testing designed to create uniform testing practices within any SDLC or organization.
Who knew testers could get so worked up?

If you’ve purchased a “System Builder” OEM copy of Windows 8.1 from Amazon, Newegg, or another online retailer, you’re probably violating the Windows license agreement. That means you technically have a “non-genuine” copy of Windows.
Sneaky, sneaky Microsoft.

Try to get your hands on a System Builder license of Windows 8 then. There are still copies on eBay etc. I guess. The update to Windows 8.1 is free for Windows 8 users anyways, but this way you are not violating any weird licensing terms.

The venerable AJAX Control Tookit has been downloaded over 9 million times. THAT’S A LOT. It was created in a time before jQuery, in a time before AJAX, in a time before today’s modern web. However, it’s super useful, and we here at DevExpress appreciate that there is a lot of good use to be had in these kinds of libraries. Good news if you couldn't move off of it

 Some of the worst years of my development life were spent dealing with that monstrosity.
Anybody ever try to change the CSS styling of the ACT calendar popup? This toolkit was quite possibly #1 in the list of reasons I ran - screaming - from webforms development.

Yup. I sure did.
I made it Red, White & Blue.
White Background
Blue Text & Borders
Red controls & selectedDate
Even did seasonal versions for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, ST. Patrick's Day, Valentine's Day, and my birthday: Royal Purple, Yellow and Fuschia, simply to do some diff colors.

Microsoft is building, testing and updating Windows in a very different way, starting with Windows Threshold. In many ways, those changes matter more than the new bits themselves. "There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful."

IT professionals seeking certifications in the coming months may get their best return with cloud and security-related certifications. Agile-related training won’t hurt, either. "Plastics"

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

We have been hearing for some time that Windows 9 could be free, and thanks to a Microsoft official in Indonesia, the rumors are looking like they will be true. The information is said to come from Andreas Diantoro, who, according to his LinkedIn profile, is the president of Microsoft Indonesia. "Windows something" gets a price tag (maybe)

It's not a phone so much as a device for "spotifying" physical objects. The idea is that you take one of these to the shops and photograph the things you want to buy and Amazon delivers them to your house. The shop, of course, goes bankrupt and your town centre becomes a ghost land...which doesn't matter because you'll not need to leave the house ever again.

I didn't make any comment about the "ethic" of the gadget. For sure they have develope something that will help them to get more money, that is obvious.
What I wanted to point out is the possibility of another API-set, another APP-store, another source for new "plzzzz helpzzz", "gimme code, plz" or "how to XXX" (a.k.a Headache and ass-pain for CP)

If a government can block you going to, for example, the opposition’s political pages, What a naive idea! Then some people could see that there is censorship.
A few weeks ago, we saw a report on the Chinese censorship system: the opposition can write many things about the ruling party and its members, but never may they call for actions. That's it: having a harmless opposition is more credible than having no opposition at all.
